Maths - A'Level

Sixth Form Admissions

There will be a relaunch of Sixth Form provision for September 2026 at Stone Lodge School .

This will include a mix of level 2, vocational and academic level 3 courses.

Full details of the curriculum offer for September 2026 will be updated here as soon as possible.

The course is focussed around developing key pure mathematical skills, including algebraic manipulation, trigonometric relationships, integration, differentiation, and an understanding of vectors. Along with this pure mathematics, you will also take on two sections focused on applied mathematics, statistics and mechanics. In the statistics modules you will gain an understanding of working with data, probability, and hypothesis testing; while in the mechanics topics, you will be introduced to the key concepts of kinematics and forces.

Studying Mathematics at A-level will present you with problems that you will need to analyse, construct logical arguments for and solve. You will develop your ability to think critically and communicate with others. You will need to manage your time and be able to work independently. Studying Mathematics at A-Level will develop your resilience to think creatively and strategically

Everything that happens in daily life is underpinned by mathematics. Mathematics uses its own language, made up of numbers, symbols and formulas, to explore the rules we need to measure or identify problems in careers ranging from nursing through to engineering. Studying mathematics helps us find patterns and structure in our lives. Practically, mathematics helps us put a price on things, create graphics, build websites, build skyscrapers and generally understand how things work or predict how they might change over time and under different conditions. Studying Mathematics at A-level provides the building blocks to do this.
